cell entry that changes

I am a new user to Excel so this is probably a common problem with an easy answer, but I can't figure it out. When I enter a number (200)in an individual cell and then click on another cell....the number changes (to 220)in the cell I just completed. I try to format the individual "changing" cell (from 220 back to the 200)but as soon as I leave that cell, it changes back to that 220 number. How do I enter 200 in a cell and keep it as a 200 number. Thanks.

Thank you for the answers to my question......I certainly learned more about formatting. Yesterday, I finally was able to keep the correct number in the cell when I custom formatted the cell. Thanks everyone! Problem solved!
